Easy run to test out the left and right hip... certainly isn't getting any worse.. and wasn't really that uncomfortable, just very tight. Didn't wanna push the pace tho... will see how it goes orienteering tomorrow.

Game against Ports... one we should have won by heaps but only managed 9-4. Started with 4 players which didn't help, and had a fill in guy who wasn't really our best asset. Our defence was the big let down... but good news we played our best tactical touch without relying on the boys to run around the other team.
Surprisingly my legs felt alright while playing touch... didn't seem to aggrevate them at all.
Votes...
3 - Jess for receiving a pretty decent boot from a guy diving for a try. She still managed to get the touch tho... I woulda been pretty pissed off at the retards inept diving style if I were her.
2 - Lucy for running the game out with a corked thigh...
1 - Damo for reaching new a new height of laziness.

Cool down around the ovals after the game with Emma... just making sure that the legs hold up ok.

Winter tour around Battery Point and Sandy Bay set by Patty... wasn't going to run but thought I would start with the others and test the leg on a short jog. It was surprisingly good at an easy pace with a fairly conservative running style, so kept going. Could still tell it was there, but it didn't get painful... so don't think I aggrevated it or anything. The real big decisions are about playing touch tomorrow, the one cross country race I've been looking forward to all year on Saturday and then going up to Launnie to train on Sunday. It always has to happen at the worst times...

See what a days rest does.. still pretty sore

C • maw! 2

Another night run... warming up and recoveries between tara dr 400s. Felt a bit of a niggle in the right hip area about 500m into warming up which felt vaguely familiar. Stretched it out a big and it didn't really annoy me until 15mins in... then just got worse n worse so stopped. Feeling even worse after cooling down. Had a similar thing back in my soccer days... but I can't really remember the details that well..

Thought it would be a struggle after the weekend and still feeling a bit dicey, but felt awesome. Much nicer running at night with a decent head torch and warmer clothes...

Sick as a dog... didn't get out of bed all day.
